2026 continues to be Justin Allgaier's season as the No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet driver scored his sixth victory of the campaign in Saturday evening's O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at EchoPark Speedway.
Despite suffering damage in a wreck with under five laps to go, the 40-year-old veteran found himself an opportunity during NASCAR Overtime to take the lead on the final lap and score career win No. 34.

Carson Kvapil, Parker Retzlaff, William Sawalich and Anthony Alfredo completed the top five. Garrett Smithley, Brandon Jones, Kyle Sieg, Rajah Caruth and Jeremy Clements rounded out the top 10.
Trouble ensued with three laps to go as Austin Hill spun after contact from Nick Sanchez in Turns 3 and 4. The No. 21 Richard Childress Racing driver glided up the track after the contact and into Sammy Smith, sparking a seven-car pileup that also involved eventual race winner and points leader Allgaier, as well as Caruth.
The field piled up with 12 to go as 11 cars were involved in a multicar wreck in Turns 1 and 2. Jordan Anderson tried a four-wide move into Turn 1, but with little room going into the narrow corners, the No. 32 Chevrolet made contact with Sheldon Creed and sandwiched Jesse Love and Brent Crews into the wall. Retzlaff, Sawalich and Brandon Jones were also involved in the late-race incident.
The O'Reilly Auto Parts Series returns to action in two weeks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 25 (4 p.m. ET, The CW, IMS Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
